Prime Donne at Her Majesty's Theatre: Albertini, Alboni and Piccolomini, 1856. Italian opera singers. Marietta Alboni, is a popular favourite of the English public [and is] gifted with a contralto voice of incomparable power and beauty, approaching in depth to the pitch of the tenor...she has matured her powers, enlarged the compass of her voice without impairing its quality, and extended her range of characters...Of Signora Piccolomini...it is sufficient to add that her department of the stage is light and elegant comedy. Her voice is a pure soprano...which combines sweetness and brilliancy in a remarkable degree...Madame Albertini...belongs to...the large dramatic school, and her proper branch of the stage is the opera seria, to which she is peculiarly fitted, by her face and figure, the quality of her voice, and her power of expressing the stronger passions with breadth and energy'.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1856, captures the Italian opera singers Adelina Patti as Marietta Alboni, Giuseppina Pasquale Albertini, and Giuseppina Grassini Piccolomini, at Her Majesty's Theatre in London. The trio was a sensation during the Victorian era, each renowned for their unique vocal talents and captivating stage presence. Marietta Alboni, the popular favorite of the English public, was a contralto with a voice of unparalleled power and beauty, approaching the pitch of a tenor. Her vocal prowess had matured over the years, expanding the range of her voice without compromising its quality, and extending her repertoire to include a diverse array of characters. Signora Piccolomini, gracing the stage with her light and elegant comedy, was a pure soprano whose voice combined sweetness and brilliance in a remarkable degree. Her comedic performances were a delight to audiences, showcasing her exceptional vocal abilities and engaging personality. Madame Albertini, a member of the large dramatic school, was a fitting presence in the opera seria. Her face and figure were suited to the grandeur of the genre, and her voice, with its powerful and expressive qualities, brought the stronger passions to life on stage with breadth and energy. This photograph is a snapshot of a moment in time, capturing the essence of these three extraordinary artists and their enduring impact on the world of opera. The image is from the archives of Heritage Images, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and artistic legacy of the performing arts.
